verjaardag.

Als je 14 wordt, wil je natuurlijk niet met je koppie op de blog van je moeder. Vooral niet mét beugel. Dus doen we een oud plaatje. Hij is nog steeds even schattig.
Gefeliciteerd Chris, met je verjaardag.
When you turn 14, you don't want to be blogged about by your mother. Especially when you're still wearing braces. So, we'll have to do with an old picture, he's still as cute as ever!
Happy birthday, Chris!

Zo, nu hebben jullie alle kids ontmoet. Chris is de oudste, dan Sean (10) en Bridget (6).
Now you've met them all: Chris, Sean (10) and Bridget (6).

Preview: Dit is een swatch voor een nieuw project voor Kantwerk. De Shetland Tea Shawl maar met een split. Zo kan je hem gewoon rond dragen om je nek.

Press release (date 14-may-09)

Recently, MoniqueB. had started her own new company named Kantwerk (only in dutch). She's knitting lace projects for people who want something handknit, original and wearable.
She blogs about it, and has some nice projects on her resumé.
Business is going well, só well, that for the time being, blogging is out.
Her dayjob as a mailwalker (TNT) is taking a break from making beautiful lacy, airy shawls that people like to show off.

So, MoniqueB. is NOT off the map in blogland, just taking a break to knit a lót of beautiful lace, blogging about it later.
Don't worry, she will be available for mail and good fun!

There's on thing she likes to add: thanks people, for keeping up with me!

End press release for now.

Kleur

Hoi,

ik had op Ravelry gelezen dat zij haar Rowan Kidsilk had geverfd, omdat de kleuren die ze had nooit zou gebruiken of dragen.
Nu had ik op de handwerkbeurs 'witte' kid-silk van Drops gekocht. Nix mis mee, maar niet wit genoeg. Dus de Kool Aid uit de kast gehaald en geprobeerd. Moet je kijken wat ik geverfd heb:

Hi,
I'd seen her trials of dyeing Rowan Kidsilk on Ravelry, because she didn't like the colours she had in her stash...
Now, I'd bought some 'white' kidsilk from Drops on the Craftsfair last februari. Nothing wrong with it, but not quite white enough. So I pulled out the Kool aid from the cupboard and tried it. Look what I've got now: De groene is gemaakt met Lemon-Lime. Omdat ik te weinig vloeistof had is hij niet dekkend geworden, de wit is nog zichtbaar.
De paarse is gemaakt met BlackBerry, en ook die is niet helemaal dekkend geverfd door te weinig vloeistof. The green was made with Lemon Lime, because i didn't use enough liquid the colour didn't totally cover the yarn.
The same for the purple: Blackberry, not completely covered all the white.

Dat zijn 4 'nieuwe' bollen!
These are 4 'new' balls of yarn!
Edit: The purple isn't as purple on the ball, it's more like old pink. Very beautiful.
